"Is Google making Us Stupid?" Article by Nicholas Carr

Nicholas Carr says in the article that people may well be reading more than they did in the 1970's and 1980's where the main mass medium was television rather than Internet. Yet, he says that the kind of reading that we are doing is a lot different. We can't read thoroughly and instead skim through the information. As I first looked at the article, my plan was to debunk Carr's point. However, I found myself skimming through his article because I didn't have the attention span to try and absorb all of the text he had presented in his article. Instead after skimming through three pages I went to (where else?) google and searched the topic, in doing so I found a plethra of information on the subject. However, I didn't have to read any of it to see that his thesis was correct and that I had incidentally been a part of his experiment.
